Applying to the Florida Bar – Application Tips

Assist the process by becoming your own first client. Investigate yourself to make sure you are reporting information correctly. You can check your own credit report, your own driving record, and your law school application. Make sure your law school application is also complete, accurate, and thorough. If you need to review it and make amendments, contact your law school dean’s office.

We offer a $99 bar application review. If you are called in for an investigative hearing after our review and you retain our services the $99 will be credited back to your account.

PRACTICAL ADVICE BEFORE YOU APPLY

Set-up a file beginning with a copy of your Registrant Bar Application, as well as copies all correspondence to and from the board. It is important to keep a copy of your Bar Application for your records. You will need to reference it to file amendments throughout the investigative process, as well as to convert your registration at the beginning of your 3rd year of law school.

Remember that it is your responsibility to file timely amendments within 30 days of any change or occurrence that would result in a different answer to a question on the application. The board communicates with applicants in writing. Be sure to keep your mailing address updated with the board’s office at all times.

Always respond as soon as possible to any requests received from the board’s office. Following an initial review of your registration information, a letter is mailed to you that acknowledges receipt of your materials, and advises you of any documents or other information immediately outstanding. As your background investigation moves forward, there may be additional requests made of you from time to time.
